1. Gather all materials and then remove the packaging and labels. 

2. Paint the 2.5” clay pots with bright orange acrylic craft paint. While still wet, add vertical stripes with dark orange acrylic craft paint. Blend the colors with a paintbrush. Allow to dry completely.

3. Glue two wiggle eyes on the pumpkin face using a glue gun and glue sticks. Give them cheeks by dabbing a new pencil eraser in pink craft paint and stamping on the right and left sides, just below the eyes.

4. Draw a mouth from cheek to cheek with a permanent black marker.

5. Using wire cutters, trim one-inch sections from a tree branch. Add some hot glue to the end and insert the twig into the drain hole of the clay pot.

6. Wrap a green chenille stem around a pencil, and then slide it off. Cut the chenille stem in half and attach to the side of the pumpkin stem with a glue gun and glue sticks. 

7. Using natural jute twine, tie two small bows. Attach to the front bottom of the clay pot pumpkin with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim any long ends of the twine with scissors.
